How do i get upper streghth from football im a running back and all i have to use is my body no machines?

Answer 1

lifting is key.

start lifting free weights 6 months before football season, and by the time the season starts you'll be plenty strong.

there's nothing wrong with old-fashioned pushups.

if they hurt your wrists, do them on a mat for cushioning.

i've also seen these things on TV called the perfect pushup, when you do a push-up you put your hands on it and they rotate and really give your arms/shoulders a workout.

Answer 2

Pull ups and pushups/me do it for me. Also get yourself a couple of freeweights and you've got biceps, triceps and deltoids covered.
